What is Message Queues?

Message queues are a form of asynchronous service-to-service communication used in serverless and microservices architectures. Messages are stored in the queue until they are processed and deleted. They are commonly used to decouple applications, improving performance, reliability, and scalability. Producers send messages to the queue, and consumers receive and process those messages, without requiring producers and consumers to be online simultaneously or know anything about each other.
